After proving himself on the K League 1 stage of professional soccer, he will wear the national flag again and further challenge to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North and Central America.
Park Kyu-hyun, who recently confirmed his transfer to Daejeon, said in an interview with this newspaper, “I came back to Korea after having a lot of experience in Germany. I have no experience in the K-League, but I want to change the question mark into an exclamation mark. I have no doubt that I will be able to perform really well next season.”
After dropping out of Hyundai High School, an Ulsan HD youth group, Park signed a contract with Ulsan and immediately transferred to Werder Bremen in Germany to challenge himself in Europe. Since then, he has experience playing in the U-19 youth team, starting with the U-19 youth team, the second and first teams. After playing for two seasons in the German third division Dinamo Dresden in 2022, he recently returned to the Korean stage after receiving a love call from Daejeon.

Hwang displayed strong trust as he alternated with Seol Young-woo (Zrvena Zvezda), who was a wild card player. Park was also the starting left-back for the final against Japan.
Park Kyu-hyun also said, “Good memories with coach Hwang Sun-hong were the biggest reason why I decided to move to Daejeon. The coach also introduced me as a team that Daejeon will achieve better results in the future,” adding, “Since I already had good results at AG, I chose Daejeon because I wanted to create good synergy with the coach once again.”
He cited his defensive ability and positive personality as his strengths. “I have confidence that no matter which player I am against in a one-on-one situation, I will not be able to penetrate easily,” Park said. “In a one-on-one situation, infinite positive energy may seem light, but I think it would be good if you look at it in a good way.”
Based on these strengths, he also expressed his determination to wear the national flag again after leading the success of the match. He was selected as a surprise in June last year when German coach Jurgen Klinsmann was already leading, and he played as a substitute in both the two consecutive friendly matches against Peru and El Salvador, experiencing an A-match. Unfortunately, 메이저사이트 the left-back competition is not fierce not only for his team’s Daejeon but also for the national team.
“I have a big dream to return to the national team, and my biggest goal is that I want to be on the World Cup stage,” Park said. “To this end, I have to prove it in Daejeon. I want to prepare well for the next season, including the off-season training, to harmonize well, and show my strengths starting from the opening game. Then, I believe that there will be good results.”
